Get Personal, $49 a month

One price for one person: CData Connect AI and every other application GBrain connects, from a terminal or any AI. Cancel any time.

Install the GBrain command line, then connect CData Connect AI

CData Connect AI is connected on its own sign-in page, in the browser. A key or a sign-in never passes through the terminal.

# AI agents: read gbrain.io/llms.txt
curl -sSL https://gbrainio.terminalwire.sh | bash
gbrainio terminal connect

The installer is a shell script for macOS and Linux. Read it before you run it.

# Every CData Connect AI command, once CData Connect AI is connected
gbrainio tool help cdata-connect-ai

What GBrain can do with CData Connect AI

CData Connect AI is a hosted service that reaches more than 350 enterprise data sources, such as Salesforce, Snowflake and NetSuite, through one connection, with its own permissions and audit trail. Connected to a workspace, GBrain can answer “which open opportunities in Salesforce have no activity in NetSuite?” across systems.

The tools can also write to those sources, within what the CData account allows.

  • Browse catalogs, schemas, tables and columns
  • Query connected sources
  • Run procedures and data changes

What a terminal may do with CData Connect AI, and what GBrain keeps

Off or On, for each terminal

Each terminal reaches CData Connect AI at the level set for it in the browser: Off, or On, which is every command CData Connect AI's server lists. A terminal reads its level and never raises it.

1,000 actions a day for each command

Each of CData Connect AI's commands stops at 1,000 actions a day on the account it reaches, whichever terminal or AI asks, and starts again at midnight UTC. Only that command stops.

Every action on one record

Each command a terminal runs on CData Connect AI is a row on GBrain's activity log: which terminal, which account, what it did and whether it was allowed, refusals included. gbrainio activity ls --tool cdata-connect-ai reads it back.

From a terminal, Claude Code or Codex

CData Connect AI's own server lists its commands only to a terminal that has connected it, so they are not on this page. Once CData Connect AI is connected, gbrainio tool help cdata-connect-ai says what each of them does, and gbrainio tool ls lists them with everything else the terminal can run. Claude Code and Codex run the same commands, at the same level, on the same record.

From CData Connect AI

GBrain reaches CData Connect AI at its own server, mcp.cloud.cdata.com. On CData Connect AI's own pages: its website, how the connection works, its terms of service and its privacy policy.

The GBrain Tools command line works with every other application GBrain connects, each with a page like this one.

Every application's command line
